Web Development & Design Agencies carry their own CRA profile, and generic bookkeeping misses it. SR&ED remains the anchor claim — 35% refundable federally for CCPCs on the first $3 million of qualified expenditures, with provincial top-ups. We price the whole engagement as one economical fixed fee, quoted before work begins.
There is a version of web development & design agencies accounting that treats the sector like any other business. It files on time and misses everything that matters. These notes are about the other version.
The first thing worth pinning down is this: Shareholder loan balances must be repaid within one year of the corporation’s following year-end or the amount is included in the shareholder’s personal income under subsection 15(2).
Then comes the detail that separates a clean file from an expensive one: Accrued but unbilled revenue belongs in income in the year the work was performed. Deferring it to the invoice date understates taxable income and is a standard reassessment adjustment.
You do not have to take the sector expertise on faith. The fee is agreed in advance, the finished work goes to you for review first, and payment follows your sign-off — an arrangement we can offer because web development & design agencies files hold few surprises for us anymore.
The tax position of Web Development & Design Agencies is shaped by rules that never come up for most businesses. Below are the technology provisions that decide what a well-prepared file looks like, and where the avoidable cost usually sits.
SR&ED claims live or die on contemporaneous records: the CRA expects project descriptions, time tracking and evidence of technological uncertainty written as the work happened, not reconstructed afterwards.
Contractor-versus-employee classification is the recurring exposure for engineering teams hired remotely; the payer carries the CPP and EI liability when the CRA reclassifies.
Federal SR&ED gives a CCPC a 35% refundable credit on the first $6 million of qualified expenditures (tax years beginning after 15 December 2024; $3 million before), and most provinces layer their own credit on top of that.
Stock option benefits are taxable to the employee, and the 50% deduction is capped at $200,000 of annual vesting for non-CCPC options; CCPC options defer the benefit until the shares are sold.
A company with employees crosses into accelerated payroll remittance as average monthly withholdings grow, and the schedule tightens without any notice from the CRA.
Founder shares issued at incorporation, while the company is worth almost nothing, are what makes the lifetime capital gains exemption available on an eventual sale.
This is the level of sector detail built into every fixed-fee engagement we run for Web Development & Design Agencies, with payment due only after you have approved the work.

Direct answers to what Canadian business owners actually ask before hiring an accountant.
Six years from the end of the tax year the records relate to. That covers invoices, receipts, bank statements, payroll records and the working papers behind the return. Records supporting the purchase of a capital asset must be kept six years past the year the asset is finally sold.
The late-filing penalty is 5% of the balance owing plus 1% for each full month the return is late, to a maximum of twelve months. A second late filing within three years doubles those figures. Interest compounds daily from the balance-due date regardless of when the return is filed.
Yes, in proportion to business use, and the logbook is what supports it. The CRA accepts a full-year log, or a three-month sample backed by a complete prior-year log. Travel between home and a regular place of work is personal; travel between work locations is business.
Incorporation usually pays once profit consistently exceeds what the owner draws personally, because the retained amount is taxed at small business rates rather than personal rates. Where the entire profit is withdrawn each year, incorporation often costs more in filing and compliance than it saves.
Ratios that sit outside sector norms, repeated losses, large or round-numbered expense claims, and mismatches between filed slips and reported income. Most reviews are resolved on documentation alone, which is why contemporaneous records matter more than the size of any single claim.
The CRA looks at control, ownership of tools, chance of profit and risk of loss rather than what the contract is titled. Where a worker is reclassified as an employee, the unremitted CPP, EI and withholding land on the payer, together with penalties and interest.
Individuals pay quarterly instalments once net tax owing passes $3,000 in the current year and either of the two preceding years. Corporations generally pay monthly, with many small CCPCs eligible for quarterly instalments instead. Basing them on a current-year estimate avoids overpaying after a strong year.
The recurring ones are capital cost allowance on equipment placed in service late in the year, the business-use portion of vehicle and home-office costs, and professional development. Each is defensible when documented at the time and difficult to defend when reconstructed later.

There is a widespread assumption here, and the actual position is worth stating plainly. The CRA requires business records to be kept for six years from the end of the tax year they relate to, in a form that allows the return to be verified. Where records cannot support the return, the CRA is entitled to assess on its own estimate — and the burden of disproving that estimate falls on the taxpayer. If your current setup was built on the assumption instead of the rule, that is fixable — but sooner is better than later.
A small corporation still carries the full compliance set: T2, GST/HST, payroll, and the annual return with the incorporating jurisdiction. The annual corporate return is separate from the T2 and is the one most often forgotten, which can lead to administrative dissolution. We flag this early with every client it touches, because finding it out at filing time leaves you far fewer options than finding it out now.
The questions Canadians actually search on this topic, answered plainly. Browse every question in the Canadian tax answers directory.
Yes. The CRA does telephone individuals and businesses about balances owing, missing returns, audits and benefit reviews, and an agent may leave a voicemail asking you to call back. It will not threaten arrest or deportation, demand payment by gift card, e-transfer or crypto, or pressure you to stay on the line. Check My Account for the same message before acting, and call the CRA back on a number from canada.ca.
No. The fuel charge applies to fuels, not tobacco. Cigarettes carry federal excise duty, a provincial or territorial tobacco tax, and GST or HST on the shelf price, which is why tax makes up most of what you pay. Duty and tobacco tax rates move with budgets and some federal rates are adjusted annually, so check the CRA excise duty rates page and your province's tobacco tax page rather than an older figure.
It can. Property tax follows assessed value, and a shed, deck, finished basement or addition that adds usable space or quality usually raises the assessment at the next valuation. Provincial assessment authorities pick up permitted work through building permit data, then your municipality applies its own rate to the new value. Property tax is municipal, not a CRA matter, so ask your municipality and read your assessment notice before you build.
Yes. Property tax is a municipal charge on the property rather than an income tax, and it does not stop at any age. Relief does exist in places: several provinces and municipalities run deferral programs that let older or lower-income owners postpone payment until the property is sold, usually with interest, and some offer a grant or rebate. These are applied for each year through the province or municipality, not on your T1. Check your municipality's tax page for what is offered.
The lowest federal bracket applies to the first band of taxable income. Its upper limit is indexed to inflation each year, while the rate itself changes only when Parliament legislates a change, so check the CRA rate table for the year you are filing. Each province and territory adds its own lowest bracket on top, so the combined rate depends on where you lived on 31 December. The basic personal amount, a non-refundable credit, eliminates federal tax only for someone whose income is at or under that amount.
CRA stands for the Canada Revenue Agency, the federal body that administers income tax, GST/HST, payroll deductions and benefit payments such as the Canada child benefit. It collects for the federal government and, under agreement, for most provinces and territories. Quebec is the main exception: Revenu Quebec administers provincial income tax and the provincial sales tax there. Alberta and Quebec also administer their own corporate income tax.
